High Rates of in App Purchases

•  Tablets have unique monetization potential - Average ecommerce order value for tablets is $123

compared to $80 on smartphone and $102 on computers

•  Users are 3x more likely to purchase on tablet vs. smartphone - Tablets account for 20% of e-commerce sales and

yet only 9% of shoppers own tablets - 10% of iPad apps feature In-App Purchase vs 6% of

iPhone apps

Apple App Store Structure

•  Worth noting that through iOS 5, there were differences in the structure of the App Store between iPad and iPhone/iPod

•  Consistent experience now in iOS 6 - Watch Fiksu webinar

for more information on the numerous changes in iOS 6

Page 7: mml - 2012 -  fiksu_smartphone_tablet_final

Google Play

•  Minor differences in Google Play for Tablets & Phones? - Staff Picks for Tablets - Endless scrolling for both phone/tablet

•  Challenges - Google Play shows apps if they are compatible with

device but the app may not be optimized for device - Known user experience frustration

- Drives users to “Staff picks” and “Tablified Marketing HD” to discover apps

How to Overcome Challenges

•  Apple App Store: Impact of rank - “Top 10, 25 & 50”

will fade with iOS 6 changes

•  Google Play: Shout about your Tablet focus! -  Include the words “HD” or “Tablet” in title & description - Aim to get 4 star rating or higher to attract Feature

Daily Downloads

Page 9: mml - 2012 -  fiksu_smartphone_tablet_final

Less Ad Network Inventory Available

•  Fewer Ad impressions & opportunities - Tablet In-App Ad Impressions account for 15-20% total - Larger focus on rich media, video, brand marketing - More impressions available on mobile web, now

possible to track with Fiksu SDK •  Challenge - Finding sufficient mobile ad traffic to meet goals - Reaching all Tablet devices (especially Android Tablets) - Driving sufficient volume to execute Burst campaign to

top ranks on iPad

How to Overcome Ad Inventory Challenges

•  Work with wide selection of ad networks to drive volume of downloads & meet goals - Target as many Ad Networks as practical -  Include variety of inventory such as: Non-Incent Banner Ad

Networks, Mobile Web, RTB Exchanges, Incentivized Inventory

- With this approach, burst to Top 50 on iPad is possible •  Constantly look for new opportunities - Engage with new ad networks & tracking technologies e.g.

Digital Fingerprinting for mobile web - E.g. Cross promote between different channels

Page 13: mml - 2012 -  fiksu_smartphone_tablet_final

Tablet Ad Campaigns Require Aggressive Optimization

•  Ad statistics differ from smartphone app ads; on average: -  Click through rates lower, Cost per Click higher, Conversion

Rates lower -  However, this offset by higher value of tablet user

•  Tablet apps have more success on certain ad networks -  This might differ from ad networks used in smartphone app

strategy •  Challenges: -  Bottom line: What works for your smartphone app may not be the

best strategy for a tablet app -  Aggressive optimization strategy is required to determine best ad

networks and achieve the greatest ROI

How to Overcome Ad Optimization Challenges

•  Optimize according to platform -  Track campaigns for tablet apps separately -  Don’t assume what works on Phones will work on

Tablets -  Adjust ad network spend and creative based on platform

•  Use external benchmarks to assess results -  Fiksu Loyal User Index for iPad suggests should be

paying $2 – 3 for Loyal User -  Although this is 1.5 – 2x higher than iPhone/iPod, know

that users are 3x more likely to purchase on iPad

Case Study: iPad vs Android Tablet •  Campaign executed on iPad & Android Tablet - Same app, same budget - Same goal to drive loyal app users
